Very Noble is having only his second start over fences but has been in good form over hurdles lately, being given plenty to do when fourth here last time behind Prout's Pub. Ifyousayso has plenty to prove at present but Town Mouse should strip fitter for Monday's run at Huntingdon and has hinted at ability while Snowell was in front when unseating his rider two out here in February and is only a pound higher. CRAZY JACK has a penalty to carry for winning at Market Rasen on Monday but is going the right way and, with Tom Bellamy taking off 3lb, could score again.
